A practical and precise approach to quantification of body composition in cancer patients using computed tomography images acquired during routine care

TL;DR: DXA-based analysis of fat and fat-free mass was performed in 50 cancer patients and compared with bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and with regional computed tomography (CT) images available in the patients' medical records, finding CT presents great practical significance due to the prevalence of these images in patient diagnosis and follow-up.

ESPEN guidelines on definitions and terminology of clinical nutrition

TL;DR: An agreement of basic nutritional terminology to be used in clinical practice, research, and the ESPEN guideline developments has been established and may help to support future global consensus efforts and updates of classification systems such as the International Classification of Disease.

Sarcopenic obesity in older adults: aetiology, epidemiology and treatment strategies.

TL;DR: The evolution, controversies and challenges in defining sarcopenic obesity are discussed, and current body composition modalities used to assess this condition are presented and current treatment strategies are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI

The clinical importance of visceral adiposity: a critical review of methods for visceral adipose tissue analysis

TL;DR: This review aims to compare different methods of measuring visceral adiposity with emphasis on their advantages and drawbacks in clinical practice to evaluate the potential risk of development of pathologies as well as providing an accurate prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Obesity on the Pharmacokinetics of Drugs in Humans

TL;DR: Clinicians should design treatment regimens that account for any significant differences in the CL and Vd in the obese, using a size descriptor that corrects for differences in absolute CL between obese and non-obese individuals.

Validation of tetrapolar bioelectrical impedance method to assess human body composition.

TL;DR: The validity and reliability of the tetrapolar impedance method for use in assessment of body composition in healthy humans is established, with a lower predictive error or standard error of the estimates of estimating body fatness than did a standard anthropometric technique.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lean body mass estimation by bioelectrical impedance analysis: a four-site cross-validation study.

TL;DR: This study validated further the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) method for body composition estimation and indicated that the precision of predicting LBM from impedance can be enhanced by sex- and fatness-specific equations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimation of total body water by bioelectrical impedance analysis

TL;DR: Sex-specific and group equations predicted D2O-TBW equally well for obese and nonobese subjects and more accurately than weight, height, and/or age.

Predicting body cell mass with bioimpedance by using theoretical methods: a technological review

TL;DR: Results add further support to the validity of the Hanai theory, the equation used, and the conclusion that ECW and ICW volume can be predicted by an approach based solely on fundamental principles.
